ReplyDeleteWell this year, I found a cute sapphire blue dress on sale for a very affordable $5. It is a few sizes too big for me normally, but with just weeks before baby comes, it will do just the trick...
ReplyDeletePlus, if I never feel the desire to wear it again, I tend to do that with maternity-ish clothes, I won't feel so bad about the price.
i have a fun green necklace that can go dressy or casual
ReplyDeletei love cute dresses in christmas colors like red or dark green.
ReplyDeleteI love the Amazing Grace Vintage hymn pendant on ekate designs. Sometimes those simple words from familiar hymns can be so inspirational!
ReplyDeleteOoh, for holiday parties this year, I'm definitely rocking these great lace tights I got from Urban Outfitters. They can add a little somethin' somethin' to any dress!

From the shop, love the Leafy Green Necklace.
ReplyDeleteWell if I were going to a Christmas party this year I would have to buy something. So if I were going to buy something, I would buy a nice pencil-y skirt, shiny top with ruffle sort of things and a contrasting cardigan. Yay for on-line window shopping!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Travelogue Coin Necklace!
ReplyDeleteMy go to this year for party going, leggings. It is my go to for everything. I am almost 8 months pregnant, comfort and style all in one!
ReplyDeleteGot to wear it last night, and for the first time in a long time didn't want to take my outfit off!
